IMPROVEMENT IN SHADE-HOLDERS FOR KER OSENE-FIXTURES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 186,799. dated January 30,1877 application filed July 1, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, PARTRIOK J. CLARK and JOSEPH KINTZ, of West Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have inventedanew and Improved Shade- Holder for Kerosene-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification:

Our invention consists of a shade-holder for fixtures of all kinds, in which a lamp or fount with a chimney is used, so arranged that the fount, with the chimney attached, can be raised from the fount-holder up from the holder into the shade, and the fount-chimney and shade be moved horizontally snfficiently for the fount and chimney to be removed from the fixture without removing the shade.

Figure 1 isasectional elevation of abracketfixture with a shade-holder arranged according to our invention, and Fig. 2 is a top view.

A is the bracket, having the fount-holder B, and being mounted at O in any approved way. D is the fount; E, thechimney; F, the shade, and G an arm which supports the shade.

This arm is pivoted to the arm of the bracket at B, so as to swing horizontally, but may be arranged so as to slide or move in any other way, and, in brackets or other fixtures of different form, may be mounted on differ: out parts, the essential point being that the shade shall be capable of being moved laterally or horizontally, together with the fount and chimney, when the fount is raised above the fount-holder.

We are aware that it is not broadly new to suspend a shade by its neck from a swinging bracket.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The shade-holder G, pivoted to a raised portion of the bracket at H, thereby allowing a lateral horizontal movement, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
